Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum. The signs and symptoms of syphilis vary depending in which of the four stages it presents (primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary). The primary stage classically presents with a single chancre (a firm, painless, non-itchy skin ulceration) but there may be multiple sores.
When syphilis has spread throughout the body, the person may have: 1  A fever of usually less than 101Â°F (38.3Â°C). 2  A sore throat. 3  A vague feeling of weakness or discomfort throughout the body.  Weight 1  loss. Patchy hair loss, especially in the eyebrows, eyelashes, and scalp hair.  Swelling of the lymph nodes.
